$40 Nexus Player Gamepad ready for order at Play store

You can now order the Nexus Player Gamepad allowing you to play your Android games on a big screen HDTV at home with the $99 Google Nexus Player. The $40 Bluetooth 3.0 accessory is now available in the Play store and is said to ship in three to four weeks. For multiplayer gaming, you can connect up to four Gamepads together.

If its gaming your buying a nexus player for id skip on this and wait till next month when sony releases PS VITA TV its basically a ps vita but you guessed it for your tv and it uses the ps dual shock controller also will have apps that ps4 has as far as netflix and a web browser etc thats what im going for i have no need for a stand alone android set box since i can connect my lg g3 to my lg smart tv wirelessly and i already own a Bluetooth gaming controller.

But that was all Ouya was good for, and there wasn't a ton of games that worked with it at the time it came out...
Gaming is simply an extra feature of this and Android gaming has come a long way...
I don't put this and Ouya in the same boat at all.

Not using those power optimizations probably leads to less latency, I've seen several audio companies sticking to 3.0 as well and saying the advantage of 4.0/LE is really in wearables, sensors, etc. Isn't the Moto Hint on BT 3.0 too? Just conjecture but possibly for the same reasons. It's all backwards compatible so it's not like being 3.0 limits it's future use.

I had the Moga controller and it works pretty much for any tablets/phones as long as the game dev supports it. Interestingly, MANY games have built-in controller support out of the box. GTA, Dead Trigger 2, Reaper, etc..etc..

I assume the Nexus GamePad use the same feature such that it'll work with those games out of the box?

I love my Roku, but most of those 1500+ channels are filler or useless crap. My Roku LT is getting long in the tooth and the Nexus Player has caught my interest. I've given up on buying game consoles, so the thought of light gaming plus casting abilities has me intrigued. I will probably wait until summer before a make a decision, as I'd rather wait for the market to blossom a bit.

How many people actually use 1500 channels. Hell people barely watch 100 channels on cable. The goal is to have the essentials. As more and more cable channels push to stream as long as the essential are there that's all that matters

I'm using and experimenting with the ADT-1, and I'm more interested in getting my hands on the voice search remote. They should consider selling that individually too in case people want replacements or second controllers. The gamepad with the ADT-1 is good, and I can use the Android Remote app for voice search if I have a device handy...but coming from a Roku, I really would prefer to keep the voice search remote nearby. They really should have included a mic on the gaming controller too, the voice search is just too handy and it's irritating when you have to go grab another device when you already have one in your hands. (Yes all first world problems :) But we are talking about making it an overall better experience too)

8 Gigs is merely 6 Gigs in the real world. One movie and one intense game will take care of the remaining 6 quite easily. Memory is probably on of the cheapest thing manufacturers can access yet they nickel and dime the consumers...

I had the same thought with mine. I started a chat with customer service and they said they would refund one of my shipping charges since I wanted to buy them both at the same time, but the gamepad was sold out at the time. They have awesome customer service!
